A dear friend passed away a
year ago February 12. She was a classmate of one of our son’s. She was also a
summer helper for our youngest when she was in elementary school. She was a mere 31 years of age when she was
killed in a car accident yet her affect on the world around her was beautifully
profound. It had a lot to do with the way she approached life. At her service a
list was shared on how she lived her life. It is a list I look at, think about
and take with me wherever I go. It is wise, inspiring, generous in spirit and
challenging. I wanted to share it with you now because I believe it will be
thought provoking and compelling for you too. It is not just about living in
the moment. It is more about how we approach our lives and our mindset.
